Navigation Bar
The Bar
Take a look at the bottom of this tutorial, you see the navigation bar (its got TOP OF PAGE, MAIN PAGE, etc written in it). If you want to know how to make your own then just follow this tutorial:
- Open your text editor (I recommend Notepad, or MSN Spaces HTML Editor (can be found by creating a new Blog and clicking on <HTML>))
- Copy and paste the following code into it:
<table width=100% height=*>
<td width=33% height=* align="left" valign="middle"><font color="ff0000"><a href="http://www.yourlink.com/#toppage">TOP OF PAGE</a></font></td>
<td width=34% height=* align="center" valign="middle"><font color="ff6600"><a href="http://www.yourlink.com">MAIN PAGE</a></font></td>
<td width=33% height=* align="right" valign="middle"><font color="ffff00"><a href="guestbook.html">SIGN GUESTBOOK</a></font></td>
<tr>
<td width=33% height=* align="left" valign="middle"><a href="alerts.html"><img src="http://images.alerts.msn.com/mcwebsite/graphics/blog/alert_signup_eng.gif" border=0></a></td>
<td width=34% height=* align="center" valign="middle">|</td>
<td width=33% height=* align="right" valign="middle">RIC</td>
</table>
- This will produce the following table:
| TOP OF PAGE |
MAIN PAGE |
SIGN GUESTBOOK |
 |
| |
RIC |
- Okay, so now for some editing.
- The http://www.yourlink.com part
- You will want to know what page of your site you want to 'go to the top of', to do this, go to the page you will be using, then check out the internet address for this page (see screenshot 1 below)
- Now, everywhere it says http://www.yourlink.com, replace it with your internet address link. My home page would be http://spaces.msn.com/members/keepthechange123, all that will change for your homepage will be the keepthechange123 part. It may be a blog on your website though e.g. http://spaces.msn.com/members/keepthechange123/Blog/cns!1pGbpZjnshcBEYs2zAttmTKg!108.entry (this is my Getting Started page), this would instead be used as the internet address.
- The guestbook part
- To create a link to your guestbook you must first recreate one. To do this just follow these instructions:
- Create a new blog
- Call it Guestbook (if you want)
- Publish the guestbook
- Open your website, and go onto the guestbook
- Look at the bottom of your guestbook, there should be a link called Permalink (see screenshot 2 below), click on it and it will display a link, make a note of it (it should end with .entry).
Edit the guestbook.html to the link you have just copied
DONE!!!
The alerts.html part
- This requires you to setup Alerts with MSN, to do this, just follow these steps:
- CLICK HERE to go to MSN Alerts
- Click on Fill out a quick form with information and RSS feed URL.
- Fill in the form
- When it comes to the part of the form where it says * Address URL from desired feed insert your homepage address (http://spaces.msn.com/members/keepthechange123, changing the keepthechange123 to your user name), and add /feed.css to the end e.g. http://spaces.msn.com/members/keepthechange123/feed.css
- Continue to fill out the rest of the form
A little bit after you have filled in the form and sent it off MSN will contact you with a piece of HTML coding, just copy this into your text editor, replacing guestbook.html with the code MSN gave you.
The RIC part
- Just replace RIC with whatever text you want, dont make it too long, its got to fit into the space and looks messy if you put too much into it.
SORTED
Now you have your own Navigation Bar, just paste the code into a new MSN Spaces Blog. (Using Ctrl + V)
